Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency, Regina, SK

The SAMA Board was charged with a mandate to develop, deliver and promote a cost-effective property assessment system for Saskatchewan that is accurate, up-to-date, universal, equitable and understandable. Since its 1987 inception, the Board’s focus has been to move Saskatchewan’s property assessment to national and international standards. The 1997 Revaluation marked the beginning of SAMA’s oversight responsibility for updating and maintaining property values, as of a recent base date, throughout the province (values were previously based on 1965 data). The 2009 Revaluation completes SAMA’s task of modernizing Saskatchewan’s assessment valuation policies.
